On top of all their innovative designs and creations, the Audemars Piguet Company felt that there was a niche in the watch industry that was missing: sports watches.

Even this design, these watches have several functions like the classic watch and included 600 different parts. Some of the functions include the perpetual calendar, the minute repeater and the split second chronograph. This was definitely the first luxury sport watch.
